It's a break from league action on Monday night as Nuneaton Town play in the first round of the Midland Football League Cup away to Chelmsley Town.

Nuneaton ran out 2-0 winners in the league fixture between the two sides last month, with goals from Cody Mullan and Louis Baker, and will be looking to do the same again against a side who have picked up just 5 points from a possible 39 so far in the MFL Division 1.

After Nuneaton's match at Gornal was frustratingly postponed with half an hour to go, due to a violent thunderstorm that temporarily flooded the pitch, Chelmsley took part in the only league game on Saturday, losing 3-0 at the Pingles to Nuneaton Griff.

Nuneaton Town welcomed two new signings on Friday afternoon, defenders Dominic Perkins, and Callum Carsley, who have both impressed in helping Nuneaton to a run of 3 straight wins and clean sheets, whilst at the other end hitting 15 goals in those 3 games.

The winner has been drawn to face Birstall United away at the end of October.

Directions by road:

Take the A444 south to the M6, then join the M6 towards Birmingham. At Junction 4 take the A446 (right at the roundabout) towards Coleshill. Stay on the A446 at the first roundabout and then take the slip road right, towards Coleshill. After a couple of hundred yards turn right onto Packington Lane and the ground is on the left.

Public transport:

Train travel is available via Coleshill Parkway. Recommended train is - Nuneaton 18:45 - Coleshill Pkwy 19:00, then Coleshill Pkwy 22:36 - Nuneaton 22:50.

The X13 bus from Coleshill Parkway stops at the end of Packington Lane and will save the 2.6 mile walk from the train station. This runs approximately once an hour.
